The Impact Rankings have been developed to showcase the powerful work of universities across their communities and the wider world, demonstrating the vital role of universities in helping achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The increasing interest from universities in participating to the Impact Rankings has demonstrated the eagerness and capability of higher education institutions in sustainability field for the last five cycles.
